\u201cYears back when we lived in Boise, Idaho, a man \u2026 Bill Bowman, who was the wrestling coach at Boise State College, did his doctorate work, his dissertation, on what makes a winner. After interviewing over a thousand athletes and feeding all the information into the computer, he got his answer. Do you know what it is that contributes more to winning than any other thing, at least in his research? Others might vary or differ, but I happen to agree with him. He said that when all the research and data came back, experience\u2014more than desire, more than motivation, more than anything else\u2014experience was the number one contributor to success in winning.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2013 Vaughn J. Featherstone<\/p>\n

Nothing can beat out experience in life. We learn so much when we work hard at things and we learn when we try new things and we especially learn when we fail at things\u2026all of that is what gives us life experience! And we can never shy away from gaining more experience. We have to continually work at things and continually push ourselves outside of our comfort zones where we grow the most. Experience is what makes us smarter and it is builds our capacity to WIN!<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t make that worry you if you are coming at something new without experience – there is a little trick that you can use as an awesome work around when you are inexperienced at something \u2013 you can jump start your own learning a tremendous amount by being willing to learn from the experience of others. You can listen to others experience, you can read about others experiences, and you can talk to people who have had experience and ask for their advice. Ask them what worked and didn\u2019t work and why. Ask them what the biggest lessons they learned throughout their experiences. Garner as much information from those with experience as you can.<\/p>\n

You will gain the most knowledge from your own life experience, but never discount the tremendous knowledge you can gain by learning from the experiences of others as well. And remember that the more experience you gain or glean, the faster you will propel yourself toward the WIN!<\/p>\n

Have an awesome day everyone!<\/p>\n
